The road is really a metaphor explaining decisions that we make.
#Road not taken summary full#
Life is full of choices, some predetermined, some decided on the spot. So, we should be careful and observant while taking decisions and choose the path which we will not regret. Once we choose to travel in one way, we cannot travel back in time and choose the next one. We should be able to choose the correct path and move forward. Hence, there are many options in our life and it is obvious to be confused. Now, I am also sure like the poet that the new challenges and struggles I will have to face here will make a difference in my life. However, I chose to come here although I knew that this way would be full of challenges. When I got selected, many of my relatives and friends suggested me not to come here as I was already going to another college. Before coming to this college I had been doing Associate first year in another community college. One of those decisions was coming to CityTech which I am sure I will never regret. Robert Frost states that “ I took the one less travelled by, and that has make all the difference”, The poem felt very connected to me as I have also had some difficult times choosing the correct way or option in my life. We have to be observant and to choose the correct path among the various paths life sets in our way. A person does not always have to take the road of the ones before them they can take an entirely new path with an unknown future. Some of the best choices are result of careful thought. However, indecision is part of the beauty of life. He only knows that he cannot travel both. In this line, “sorry…could not travel both”, Robert Frost does not know which road to take, what decision to make. Still, knowing a choice needs to be made does not make it easy to decide. Every once in a while a person is offered a monumental decision that will decide the path of their entire life. The choices people make in their lifetime not only shape their life, but they can make or break it. Those paths shows that it doesn’t matter which side has been taken more but which is the best one for you. By the end of the poem, we have learned that the difficulty of choices is that sometimes you really have to let fate take the lead. Towards the end of the poem, signs of regret shows, how in life a decision can really impact your life and who you become as a person. The fact the Frost chose to use this symbol to portray the message makes us have a clear idea of what he is going through. In this poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost state that the roads are considered to be a symbol of his life decisions. Sometimes the decisions we make can be wrong but that is way better than standing and not choosing anything. What we decide today is going to affect our future. In the beginning we think we would choose a better path than previous path, but the road never seemed to end. The road we chooses is full of challenges and needs to be explored. In this scenario we have to be more careful about our decision. By depending on time we can’t really lookup that why we made mistake.
In our lives sometimes we make some wrong decisions too. Not all decisions have to be clearly thought out or over-thought. In this poem there is a line that is “I shall be telling this with a sigh”, Robert Frost shows a sign of regret, meaning he made the wrong decision. Towards the end, there is a drastic change of the indecisive tone to a tone of regret. We learn that this is really a life decision, and not just a choice between two paths. Throughout the poem, we learn that there are two paths to take, but the traveler, who we suppose is Robert Frost, is uncertain of which one to take. “Then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim” are verses where we can clearly see that this is a decision in to which he is putting a lot of thought. This poem expresses life, because in life, there are important decisions that in some instances can make a really big change, sometimes it’s hard to find your way out of something, and there are many possible ways you can do it. The two paths symbolize the life of the traveler and all his life decisions. In this poem we come to realize that life is a combination of decisions and fate. The author helps us better understand the message by his use of tone and literary devices such as metaphors and symbolism. To understand this poem you have to have understanding of life’s meaning. “The Road Not Taken” uses two paths as a symbol of a life decision. The poem, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost states that in life we come upon many decisions, and there are points where we have to let fate take the lead.
